1: Glass Shower Doors
Shower curtains are pretty basic ways to keep the water in the shower and not on the floor. But there’s one key problem with shower curtains: they wear out. Plus, shower curtains aren’t exactly known for their chic addition to your bathroom decor. You constantly need to replace them and find the classiest ones you can. So for your bathroom remodel, why deal with that at all? Glass shower doors are where it’s at.
Opaque glass shower doors have been a popular choice in the past for shower doors, but crystal clear glass adds something special to your bathroom. Glass shower doors create an open space in your bathroom, making the room feel larger and airy. Essentially, your master bathroom looks bigger and classier with glass doors.
When renovating your home, you should also think about more than just trends. Trends come and go. Instead, you’ll want to look at what elements of bathroom design are timeless, so your bathroom will always look amazing. Glass shower doors are timeless and will continue to look great and classy for many years to come.
2: Add a Splash of Color
Neutrals are awesome and probably some of the best colors to use to design your master bathroom. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t add a little color. A splash of color in a mostly neutral colored bathroom does a lot for the space. Color adds depth to the space. Adding just a small splash of color—whether through tiles or finishings—will make the whole room feel like it has a lot of depth—all while keeping your classy color scheme.
Using colored tile—especially in the shower—can also bring out the warm touches in your room and really make the finishings on your faucets and towel rods pop. Adding a little color that pairs beautifully with the warm tones in your bathroom will create a spectacularly cozy space for your bathroom.
3: Create a Statement with Your Bathtub
What should the focal point of your bathroom be? You might not realize that your bathtub can and should be something that draws the eye and ties the whole room together. Let your bathtub be the showstopper in your bathroom. After all, the right bathtub will be what makes your bathroom a sanctuary and helps the room stand out as the lovely space you want it to be.
To create a statement with your bathtub, you can look beyond just your basic white porcelain bathtubs. Instead, try looking at bathtubs that are interesting and will stand out. Maybe a vintage clawfoot tub is going to help your bathroom look timeless and elegant. A copper tub creates a massive visual impact and really will help tie your finishings together, creating a consistent theme. Bathtubs can be circular, oblong, or even square. Sometimes they’re even embedded into the floor. Whatever you’re looking for, there’s a bathtub for it. Don’t hold back and go for the bathtub of your dreams.
4: Double Doors
You can use a regular door for your bathroom, sure. But the entrance to your master bathroom could also be something special and something that really helps curate your bathroom into the sanctuary it can be. Enter double doors. Double doors can make entering the bathroom an experience—and definitely way more fun. Double doors also provide beautiful framing for your bathroom as a whole. When the doors are open, they’ll perfectly frame your bathtub and shower. Basically, they’ll help make your whole master bathroom look like a work of art.
You don’t have to only choose from double doors that open and close. Sliding double doors are popular for good reason. Sliding double doors provide the privacy you’re looking for and make that privacy adjustable. Sliding doors can be closed and open like any other door, but they can also be left as open or closed as you want—giving you the ultimate control over your privacy. Plus, sliding doors take up less space than a traditional door. You also don’t have to worry about installing a door that will accidentally open right into the side of the toilet. Sliding doors create an entrance and leave you with the most space.
5: Floating Vanity
When you picture a bathroom vanity, you probably think of cupboards with a sink on top, with maybe a drawer or two. But vanities are also a way you can add flavor and excitement to your master bathroom. One great way to add something special to your bathroom space is a floating vanity. Floating vanities are just like your classic vanity except that they don’t touch the floor. Instead, there’s a varying amount of space between the bottom of the vanity and the floor.
Here’s how to make a floating vanity add just what you need for your bathroom. A floating vanity adds a lovely illusion and airy atmosphere to your bathroom, so choose dark colored cupboards and drawers to provide a grounding element. Together, the grounding and floating elements will create amazing contrast and complement each other. Brass accents then add coziness and warmth to the floating vanity and to your master bathroom.
6: Heated Tiles
There’s almost nothing chillier than early morning bathroom tiles. It’s never a good feeling to step into your bathroom in the morning and directly onto freezing cold tiles. It’s also never fun to step out of a steamy shower onto chilly tile. Luckily, there is a solution to this problem: heated tiles. Believe it or not, you can get special tiles that can actually be heated by a special system and create an amazingly warm bathroom floor for you. Gone are the days of freezing cold feet in the morning and after showers.
Heated tiles are a great way to make your master bathroom both a sanctuary and a luxurious space. Nothing says elegant luxury than stepping out of your lovely statement bathtub onto heated tiles. Heated tiles also make your bathroom somewhere you want to me, not just somewhere you have to be. Instead of dreading your morning bathroom routine, you can look forward to it.
7: Unique Floor Tiles
Your master bathroom is your space, and that means it should reflect you and your personality. One great way to make your master bathroom totally and completely yours is to play with some unique floor tiles and find one that suits you and your space. Funky floor tiles are a great way to give your master bathroom a little personality and make it a fun—as well as classy—space to be in.
Printed tiles are a great way to add a pop of fun and personality to your bathroom without overpowering the rest of the room or overwhelming you every time you step into the room. These tiles can be a great way to find your pop of color for your bathroom. If you’re worried about creating an overwhelming floor or a chaotic mess, try mixing in a healthy dose of white tiles with patterned tiles. The white can help mellow out the fun tiles and tie the whole room together while the unique floor tiles can add a pop of color and a whole lot of personality.
8: Wallpaper
There are so many colors you can choose to paint your master bathroom walls, but ultimately, there are still a finite number of colors to choose from. And you’re always going to be limited to solid colors. But if you’re looking for basically unlimited options, including patterns, then you’re going to want to look at wallpaper. Before you immediately start thinking about your grandma’s weird wallpaper, know that there are so many wallpaper options out there today that it’s pretty much guaranteed you can find lovely wallpaper that suits you perfectly.
Wallpaper has so much versatility that it can be used to add any kind of ambience to your bathroom. Want your bathroom to look formal and elegant? Wallpaper can do that. Want your bathroom to feel like the floral garden you wish you had? There’s wallpaper that can do that, too. Want a bathroom that feels warm and open? A light and airy wallpaper can help create that ambience. Basically, wallpaper can be used to create any sort of mood, ambience, and theme you want for your master bathroom.
But keep in mind that wallpaper has one more way to be extremely versatile: it can be an accent. You don’t have to wallpaper your entire bathroom to use wallpaper effectively. You can also use wallpaper just in one section of your bathroom to make it pop and to add personality. Try adding a wallpaper accent around the mirror and above the sink. Or you can even add wallpaper to the ceiling above the tiling to create an amazing ambience. Wallpaper is a powerful tool, and you can use it in your master bathroom to create the space you’ve always wanted.
9: Switch up Your Showerhead
There are generic showerheads, and then there are detachable showerheads and waterfall showers and high pressure showerheads and so many other cool types of showerheads that can expand the possibilities of what your shower can do. Your generic showerhead does the basic job, but usually they’re mounted on the wall and have very little pressure control. As you remodel your master bathroom, you might want to switch up your showerhead, so you’re getting all the best that a bathroom can offer.
There are a couple of things to consider with a showerhead: the mount and the type. The mount determines how the showerhead is attached to the wall, ceiling, or a bar. There’s also the option for a detachable mount, so you can hold the showerhead closer to get more water pressure. You can choose from so many types of showerheads and then mount it with what suits you best. Some types of showerheads include filtered showerheads, LED showerheads, massage showerheads, and high pressure showerheads.
The type of showerhead you choose can also create an ambience for your shower. A detachable showerhead with a gold finish can create a vintage feel for your bathroom while a ceiling mounted waterfall showerhead is all about modernity and openness. If you have a larger shower (or will be making a larger shower space), you might opt for a waterfall showerhead or for two showerheads in the shower.
10: Try Wood Accents
Bathrooms don’t have to be all tile, stone, and linoleum. Your master bathroom can really take advantage of the warmth, color, and ambience of wood accents. You can incorporate wood for the flooring to create a cozy aura, or you can have wood finishing along the edges of your bathroom to frame the whole room. Hardwood vanities, mirror frames, and even bathtub frames all create warmth for the whole room and help tie it all together.
